Experiment with Wiki markup on this page: click the "edit" link at the bottom of the page to start. This page is periodically cleaned up so don't post anything you want to keep.

The sandbox is used often as a scratchpad for coders to easily show other coders bits of code (for example, when asking someone to help troubleshoot your code in an IRC channel). The sandbox, however, is intended as a place to tryout wiki markup. How about we make a page for sharing code? Something like ScratchPad →Evolution

some quick examples... this is a bullet list
it's just a * at the start of a paragraph. a single return character ends the list item
this is emphasized text
this is very emphasized text
this is extremely emphasized text
some simple html tags work:², underlined with this <u></u> tag., but it's best to stick to Wiki markup.

this is indented

this is double indented... and so on.

this is a Definition List (DL in HTML): this is the definition for the term

this is a numbered list
next item
unfortunately, # and * lists don't mix

Bullet 1
1. Number 1 in bullet 1
2. Number 2 in bullet 1
Bullet 2

This is a header

the space on the inside of the == is important
use more = signs to make lower level headings (h2 up to h5)

Nuclear Fuzz Grunge would like to know what:

—

is. I see it everywhere. Is this a function that is yet to be coded?

tarquin: "& mdash ;" is a standard HTML entity for the m-dash character. I've since created wiki markup for this so use of it here is obsolete. Type two hyphens together and they'll render as a long dash. (I'm fussy about typography like that, you see!)
See Wiki Markup. There's also wiki development to discuss the system.

Actually "& mdash" syndrome occurs when you view this with good ole netscape 4.7 – whether or not the code has double hyphens in it; it all looks much nicer in mozilla and probably that other browser — who's name I forget.

You get "mdash" appearing as text in Netscape 4.7? Uh-oh. Upgrade :) Mozilla is in fact my target browser for CSS. I try and make sure it's ok in Opera too. IE can go hang. – Tarquin

I say the same thing about mozilla, and funnily it does lol, unlike IE :P (Wiki works fine) – L0cky

Quite right too! :-) actually there's a bonus with 4.7 ... no banner ads! still looks ugly though – Zedsquared

:-) Smiley:-) :-) 123:-) :D:tup: mesh=doodedoo mesh =doodedoo

Different monospaced fonts:

 The quick [[Legacy:Brown Fox|brown fox]] jumps over – the ''lazy dog''. (<pre>

)

The quick brown fox jumps over – the lazy dog. (verbatim paragraph, character markup is processed)

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. ()

 The quick [[brown fox]] jumps over the ''lazy dog''. (<uscript>)

Wah! I figured it out. Opera seems to fail to switch back to the normal monospaced font after inserting a HTML entity (from a different font, like →), and thus everything following the arrow in the following paragraph is formatted as Lucida Sans Unicode:

 File -> Save -> File Format

I'm filing a bug report to Opera Software at the moment. Here's the test case.

I saw it too, but now (after several crashes and Tweak UI -> Repair Font Folder) it works like it's supposed to. – Wormbo (No wait! That en-dash in front of Wormbo is displayed inside of the W. Another bug of Opera?)

You mean, Opera 6.01 displays "Save -> File Format" in Courier New after the first "->"? →Mychaeel

Yes, but it seems like there's another display error now.

Fooling around with this... testing testing testing link. -Bean

(messages shunted to Bean. Delete on read. :) )

I think bot navigation, pathnoding, and basic bot pathing should all be combined. It would be much cleaner. Just a suggestion. →Bean

Tarquin: Oh, definitely. It's been on my list of "arg, I really don't want to have to deal with this myself" pages for a while. Mention it on Project Discussion, on one of the pages in question, or just dive in & make changes :D. Artificial Intelligence is the main topic page, just make sure anything on the subject is linked to from there.

Ok, I'm trying to create a really, really long paragraph here just to mess around with the diff functionality of the Wiki. I'll try to make it as long as possible, but it seems like i'm running out of ideas pretty fast. :( OK, maybe it's already enough.

Ike Bart: I added H6 and H7 to this to see how they would look. It is obvious that H1 doesn't work.

Ike Bart: H6 seems to do something without the box, and H7 is the same as H6.
Wormbo: In HTML there's only H1 - H6 AFAIK. H1 is probably reserved for the page's topic. (i.e. "Unreal Wiki") It's just large black text, you can test that with the
tag.

What happens if I do this?

Mychaeel: Somebody sees it, frowns, and restores the original text.

Mychaeel: No newline before here.

Mychaeel: Single newline before here.

SpeciesType

This document describes how to use the

Object >> SpeciesType

to implement different species with different characteristics in UT2003.

These characteristics can be e.g.:

the ground speed of a pawn

the jump height of a pawn

the acceleration when running

change the damage done to a pawn (like a species having an armoured skin)

change the damage that this pawn does to others (like a species having a nasty punch)

First, lets start with an overview of the classes that contribute to the species-system (they are explained in more detail later):

SpeciesType

This class and it's subclasses define the species and their individual characteristics. UT2003 e.g. comes with several build-in species like SPECIES_Alien, SPECIES_Bot, SPECIES_Human (where the humans have some sub-species, namely SPECIES_Egypt, SPECIES_Merc and SPECIES_Night) and SPECIES_Juggy You can easily expand these to form your own species with their own characteristics.

xPawn

xPawn has the member SpeciesType xPawn.Species to define the Species that this xPawn is of.

MutSpeciesStats

Is a mutator that activates the species-system ingame.

SpeciesGameRules

Are species-specific game rules activated by the MutSpeciesStats.

.upl files

define player-models, including their assigned species.

These classes are explained in more detail now.

xPawn

has a the member Species of type SpeciesType that defines its Species. This member's default property is set in the defaultproperties.
defaultproperties
{ 
  ...
  Species=class'SPECIES_Jugg'
  ...
}
It's real value is determined at runtime in the function xPawn.Setup that uses the class xUtil to find the player record that is defined for a character name:
rec = class'xUtil'.static.FindPlayerRecord("Gorge");
This function is native, that is, it is implemented in the C/C++ core and its sourcecode is not accessible, but I assume it just searches all .upl files and returns the player record who's DefaultName matches the given character name.

.upl

The .upl files define the characters, i.e. how they look (Mesh, Skin), what portrait they have in the player selection menu, their favoirite weapon (in case its a bot) and of course their species type. I guess since you can set the sex of an character in the .upl file that this also defines the voice of that character. .upl files are located in the UT2003/System directory and look like this:

=MutSpeciesStat

activates the SpeciesGameRules to use the species-specific damage system.

modifies xPawns to species-specific attributes like GroundSpeed, WaterSpeed, Jump-Height etc. in ModifyPawn.

SpeciesGameRules

modifies damage done to an xPawn, depending on the species of that pawn (SpeciesGameRules.ModifyReceivedDamage)

modifies damage done to an xPawn, depending on the species of the instigator (SpeciesGameRules.ModifyImpartedDamage)

SpeciesType

This class modifies a pawn depending on the characteristics defined for that species.

Following characteristics can be set:

PawnClassName

The Pawn class to use for that species, e.g. "xGame.xPawn"?

SpeciesName

A name for the species, e.g. "Human"

AirControl

GroundSpeed

WaterSpeed

JumpZ

ReceivedDamageScaling

factor to apply when this species receives damage. Might increase or decrease the received damage, e.g. a tough species decreases the butterfly net damage.

DamageScaling

factor to apply when this species does damage to another lawn. For example, a species having a fruit punch might increase the damage.

AccelRate

WalkingPct

CrouchedPct

DodgeSpeedFactor

DodgeSpeedZ

These characteristics all modify the pawn P by multiplication, for example:
P.JumpZ = P.Default.JumpZ * Default.JumpZ;

that's as far as I could get, it's still not quite right though.
I wouldn't know if you wanted to put any text inbetween either.
Better ask one of the gurus around here ;)

now I hope I didn't screw anything up... :S

Wormbo: I corrected the example above. You were almost correct G-LiTe, but the space behind the <wiki> messed it up, because that counts like a space on a new line, which means fixed font width. Hmm, ;) at the beginning of a line isn't parsed as smiley but as definition list. o_O
